In the pursuit of the
great Australian dream of owning a house, many buyers have faced this
dilemma. Some would rather shell out and move in rather than take
the time and make the effort to build from the ground up. Many Perth
home builders will point out that the savings from constructing a new
home can change anybody’s mind.
Go the distance
In most countries,
living in or close to a big city commands a higher price since it
makes commuting to work easier. Consequently, the cost of housing in
suburbs (established or new) is quite expensive. Many young families
have opted to live farther from the city and invest in a vehicle to
drive to work.
Buy now, build
later?
Further from the city,
lower land prices give many families more bang for their buck. Ask
the right questions first. Is there a trustworthy builder who can
build in the area? How soon can construction begin? Are utilities
such as power and water in place? How far are the nearest market,
police station, and hospital? Are there other amenities close by?
Instant homes,
instant joy
In new and developing
areas, many real estate and home builder companies offer land and
home packages which save both time and money. This straightens the
perception that constructing from the ground up is both expensive and
time consuming. Homeowners only meet with one company to do the job
of three entities. Suddenly building a new home just got more
attractive.
